A cheap Tr.p TO the Mountatns.

MIR. EDITOR-I had a most delightful
visit during The hot spell to Penmar,and
rs 1t may be beneficial to know OF it TO
those who are going to the mountains,
will give short account of the place
and trip.
1t is situated on the State line be-
tween Pennsylvania and Maryland and
axes its name from the first three let
tiers of each State-Pen-mar. 1t is 73
miles from Baltimore on the Western
Maryland railroad. On'top of the south
spurot the Blue Ridge Mountain, two
thousand feet above sci level and the
passengers are landed at the pleasure
grounds. The ride FROM Baltimore is
through beautiful. fertile farming ro-
gion. and greatly enjoyed by one from so
level country as our. 1t is Il real
treat to see the beautiful. rolling and
hilly lands with the heavy crops Of corn,
wheat, grass, and the fine animals gra,
zing it's pastures. There is a gradual
ap grade until The tops the mountain
is reached. and then the travel is for
three miles OIL tile mountain itself. the
scenery of which is grand and pictur-
eseue. At Penmar the grounds are
beautiful, and are supplied with every
thing that pleasure seekers can wisli-a
large nice airy dining room, where a
good dinner is served for fifty cents; -
dancing pavilion witha band Of music,
swings and flying horses for children,
and other amusements for both old and
young. Carriages are III attendance to
take visitors out riding over the nouns
tain to High Rock and other places of
interest, at a cost OF ten or fifteen cents
for each person The cool air of the
mountains is invigorating but different
from ours-and will be of great benefit
to those who are on the sick or COM
plaining list with us. The beautiful
scenery from the mountain top down
the Cumberland valley which is enclosed
between the North and South noun
tains, stretching away us far us the eye
can reach, with Its villages, factories
and highly cultivated farms, makes a
scene beyond my power of description.
1t must he seen to be fully appreciated.
The Blue Mountain House is !. mag
nilcent. large hotel, one mile beyond
Penmar, kept by Mr.. J. D. Shannon, in
the most improved manner. No one can
find fault here, the cooking is good, the
table is supplied with all the delicacies
of the season and served in the very
best manner. For such all elegant place
the board is reasonable.
An excursion tram visits Penmar
daily, Sunday excepted. frnm Baltimore
and return. leaving Hillen street sta
ton aC g.. Il. m, and returning at $40
p. m.
The tickets good for one dai only TO
go and return. is sold for one dollar,
which makes it "a rellal Rable cheap trip.
III the villages and country houses on
the mountain and in the. valley. bOald,l
was told could be had by tue day OF
week at very reasonableiigures
| have no doubt those visiting the
place will lie pleased and benefited.
Respectfully.

more deadly force. Death was
instantaneous and not sound was

of his body we're blstered BY the stroke.

CObhs island.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Last week l spent
several days most pleasantly at Cobb'S
Island. 1t certainly has natural advan-
i tages that no other seaside resort has
that ever visited, and I have been to
quite number different States. An
island jutt ng out into the ocean, about
eight miles from the mainland, the air
from any point must pass over salt wa
ter before it reaches ydq. The breezes
this sTelterlng weather are just glori
Gus; the bathing is said ly judges to hr
the finest on tile coast; the Water Scene-
~ varied and attractive: and it is adj
lnitted by all the fishing and cunning
arc unequalled. 1t was All ordinary
thing for three or four persons in small
unat to catch over hundred spots,
trout and hog-iish, and some OF them
the largest-in less than. two hours
The sharkers were having grand sport,
they came in nearly every day with ,ev
eral monsters. The best summer shoot
Ing, | am told, commences about the
first of August and Continues several
weeks.
Captain Crumb, in charge of life saw
ing station, shows decided skill as a
taxidermist. He has quite Il good col
lection principally native birds, for
which he finds ready sale. Many a
lady's hat is adorned with their plu-
mage.
Governor Fitz Lee will not soon for
get his shark fishing; how, when the
monsters we've drawn ap along side the
boat he mauled them to death with Il
poiidprous club. He could command a
Shaking fleet us well as a division of
Cavalry. His freedom from official
dignity and arrogance, and his genial
social nature. allu pleasant manners cap
tured or captivated The islanders us well
us the visitors. Hc waits summer
house built there forh Accommodation.
From what he said, that lace suits linn
better than any other seaside resort lie
mad visited.
One Of the most pleasing features Of
Cobb's is The freedom from The cOnven-
tiuualitieS of fashionable society. Ev-
efy one does to suit himself, and 10th
ing is thought Of it. A couple of years
ago Il Baltimore lady, accustomed To
high life, said 10 me she Was worn down
with society, and Cobbs Was a place
Where size could uhbend, rest, and reeu-
perate. The fare is substantial-good
the terms moderate, the walters atten-
tive, aud MI. Cobb untiring in his eff
forts to meet all tile reasonable wants of
his guests. He has RECENTLY bought out
his brothers, and proposes next year to
make many Improvements. The place
Is destined to grow in public favor.
The Southern MethodIstS have quite
neat chapel just ON the south Of the ho-
tel, which is served by Rev. j. A. Grow.
a steamer runs from Tie island to the
mainland, which affords much better
accommodation than to trust to the sail
boats. If you have not been this Seal
III, go over Mr.. Editor, and roll your
ponderosity about in the breakers. and
uuld up sol.e. and get ready for the ar
duous work that lies before you in the
forthcoming campaign. }. II. A.
